I went to Walmart and saw a lot of Sensationail Gel nail polishes on sale for $5 (1/2 off). I originally grabbed 6 but I showed restraint and only brought 3. 



Pink Daisy, Taupe Tulips, and Miss Behave

 
So happy I got to go shopping today!!  What I got:

  • Maybelline Baby Lips in Quenched- smells like Fruit Loops and goes on like butter
  • Hard Candy Megawatt Smile in Gleaming, Glimmer, and Superficial- these looked pretty when I swatched them once I got home, plus I love that they have a tooth whitener with them (not that I need it per se, but its a great price for that to be included)
  • NYC Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder in Translucent- excited to try this as its my first powder!
  • Rimmel London Natural Bronzer in Sunshine- again, excited to have a real bronzer!  Also, its funny because to me this smells exactly like those makeup sets for little kids to play with... not that thats a bad thing
  • Freeman Feeling Beautiful Facial Clay Mask in Mint & Lemon and Facial Revealing Peel-Off Mask in Pomegranate- just couldn't turn these babies down
  • Montagne Jeunesse Mud Pac in Dead Sea/Anti-Stress- see above!
  • Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics- seems like I've been seeing them everywhere lately and I've never even heard of them before so I got a few to try
  • NYC Dual Pencil Sharpener- only $0.93 so I figured it was worth it because I've been into jumbo lip pencils lately and feel like I'm gonna need it
  • Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub in Coconut Lime- OMG this smells delicious and heavenly.  I absolutely cannot wait to use this.  What makes it even better is that I had a $3 off coupon so I got this baby at half the price!

I can't stop staring at my goodies!

The beauty items I received for my birthday and Christmas!
How do you like that Dr. Remedy nail polish remover? Does it actually smell like garlic? Hahah! Is it expensive? Does it work well?  Where can you get it?

Nice nail polish haul!

Also got my 3 for $12 Zoya order

Colors are Rue, Taylor, and Chantal.

... And now back to my no buy.
Gosh, I love Ross and TJMaxx, they have the best beauty steals!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those Zoya polishes. Oh my god0ness, I wish I had known about the 3 for $12 order. I'm going to try to do the April Earth day swap thing. Are they sheer, or do they provide good coverage?

Ok, I was on a low-buy this past month (January) and I did well at the start, but then I had some devastating news come my way and I've been dealing with it by binge-shopping, complete with returns and revisits. Eugh!!! But anyway, here's the damage:



I hope I can remain on a no-buy through the end of February, excepting replacements of necessities. But...I'm kind of on the prowl for some of the perfumes at Sephora, as it's 3x the points on fragrance in February. I want to get the Lavanilla rollerball and the travel-size healthy deodorant, and maybe spend another 100 points on a deluxe size Tarte Lights Camera Lashes. But... I also need to get some camisoles with a built in bra, as well as some new panties. Eugh.... and I have to move I think. And euhhhhhh I just don't now. It's all so scary. But I am going to try to focus on doing and not buying.

 


This week's damage...

*Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation

*Tarte CC Matte Palette

*Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

*Anastasia Brow Gel in Auburn

*Be a Bombshell Eyeliner in Amethyst (I LOVE this eyeliner, I am on tube number two)

*Samples from Ulta of Murad Oil-Control Mattifier, Hope in a Jar, Strivecton-TL tightening neck cream

*Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Dim Light

*NYX  Matte Finish finishing spray

* The Wet Brush

*Spornette Little Wonder Brush

*Lush Aqua Marina cleanser (this has made a huge difference for my facial redness)

*sample of Lush Vanishing Cream

*a bunch of samples of Murad Age Reform Time Release Retinol Concentrate

*Murad Resurgence Evening Renewal Regiment 4 pc set

*Schwarzkopf Osis+ Shine Duster

*Ulta brush and sponge cleaner

*Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover

*Macadamia Oil Hair Care 5 pc set, includes Rejuvenating Shampoo, Nourishing Leave In Cream, Deep Repair Masque, Healing Oil Spray and Healing Oil Treatment (This was a very generous Ulta gift with purchase, that I thought I wouldn't even try.  I tried it today and I am going to give it a few more tries)

I also just finished ordering the Kat Von D Esperanza Eye Shadow Palette and an Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Rollerball.  I should probably put myself on a low/no buy for the next month or two.  But I feel a Naked 3 palette in my not too distant future.

The NYX matte finishing spray was a total impulse purchase.  I picked it up at Nordstrom Rack.  I have never used a finishing spray before.  How does this one compare to others?

I bought it for the eye colors and have been playing with those the last couple of days.  I just tried the blush tonight and it is perfect on me.  And the packaging itself...I wanted this one, just so I can look at it every day :)

i'm a geologist, and the tarte palette kinda appeals to me because of the agate design in the front! might buy it solely for that reason. haha!

Same here! The packaging is awesome but what's in it is even nicer! Love, love, love it! Thank you for sharing with me.

I have yet to use the remover (working on finishing up a cheapy brand acetone one), but once I do start using it I'll let you know. I'm not sure about the price (edit: selling for $5 on the website), since I received it as a gift, but I think my mom picked it up at her Chiropodist but I see that it can be purchased on the company's website as well as through Amazon and Nail Polish Canada and likely other foot specialists. The polish is actually pretty good, not a weird formula like other "good for your nails" polish.

Thanks!  I'm thinking of trying them.

 
@marigoldsue, @Spiritwind10, we are so in the Tarte Be Mattenificient club together! Yeah!

@saku, you really need to get it and join our club, LOL! I am so happy to hear you are a geologist! I trained as a geologist, but now I work in water quality. I am not going to lie, 50% of the reason I bought this palette is because of the agateesque packaging. So lovely! But I also love how it has matte eyeshadow, plus a nice LE blush, liner colors, and a sweet little brush!

Anyone else in the Tarte Be Mattenificent club? Join us!!!! MWHAHAHAH!!!

By the way, those ecotools eyebrushes I got rock! I can do my brows, line my eyes, apply shadow, blend shadow, define my crease, do detail work, and smuge my liner with just two brushes!

I bought this Tarte Palette on Friday...they were SOLD OUT at my nearest Ulta (they had two left at Sephora), so if you are on the fence about wanting to be in the club, the time is now!!!

Such a beautiful little palette, I would say that the packaging of Tarte kits has convinced me NOT to buy them in the past (too bulky) but this one is sleek and beautiful, it definitely sucked me in, and I've been wanting to break my addiction to shimmers, it may just be a matte February.
